O'er bent j hill wi' him I'll run,
And leave my Lawland kin and daddy 5
Frae winters cauld, and simmer's sun,
He'll screen me wi' his Highland plaidy.
O my bonny, &c.
A painted room, and silken bed,
May please a Lawland laird and lady ;
But I can kiss, and be as glad,
Behind a bush, in's Highland plaidy.
O my bonny, &c.
Few compliments between us pass ;
I ca' him my dear Highland laddie,
And he ca's me his Lawland lass,"
Syne rows me in beneath his plaidy*
O my bonny, &.c.
Nae greater joy I'll e'er pretend,
Than that his love prove true and steady,
Like mine to him, which ne'er shall end,
While heav'n preserves my Highland laddie,
O my bonny, &c.
O'er bent j hill wi' him I'll run,
And leave my Lawland kin and daddy 5
Frae winters cauld, and simmer's sun,
He'll screen me wi' his Highland plaidy.
O my bonny, &c.
A painted room, and silken bed,
May please a Lawland laird and lady ;
But I can kiss, and be as glad,
Behind a bush, in's Highland plaidy.

I ca' him my dear Highland laddie,
And he ca's me his Lawland lass,"
Syne rows me in beneath his plaidy*
O my bonny, &.c.
Nae greater joy I'll e'er pretend,
Than that his love prove true and steady,
Like mine to him, which ne'er shall end,
While heav'n preserves my Highland laddie,
O my bonny, &c.
